Cool time-lapse video of Perseid meteor shower, taken at Meech Lake

Check out this great video timelapse of the Perseid meteor shower, taken Thursday night at Meech Lake by local photographer Mike Geiger .

Mike writes: “Timelapse of the meteor shower while hanging out with some fellow photographers. Taken near P12 on Meech Lake. I think there’s some Aurora Borealis just left of center near the beginning… not sure though.”

OttawaStart’s Twitter followers suggested a few other locations besides Meech Lake for getting away from the bright city lights and seeing some meteors.

If you have any more locations to suggest please add them in the comments below.
